Air Fryer Shallots Recipes

AIR FRYER SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Cut the ends off of the shallots and peel the papery skin. I sliced the shallots in half first, as it made the peeling much easier.
• Use a mandolin or sharp knife to make thin, uniform slices from the shallots. The mandolin is perfect for this, but a sharp knife works if you are careful. The key is to make sure they are sliced uniformly thin.
• Spray the sliced very lightly with avocado oil. You don't need much at all.
• Lay the slices on the air fryer tray or basket. Set the air fryer to 250 degrees for 10 minute intervals. Mine were toasty brown at the end of 30 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container in your panty.

AIR-FRYER SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 400°. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat egg. In another bowl, toss potato flakes, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. In a third bowl, toss scallops with flour to coat lightly. Dip in egg, then in potato mixture, patting to adhere. , Arrange scallops in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Turn; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until breading is golden brown and scallops are firm and opaque, 3-4 minutes longer.

AIR FRYER BREADED SEA SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C).
• Mix cracker crumbs, garlic powder, and seafood seasoning together in a shallow bowl. Place melted butter in a second shallow bowl.
• Dip each scallop in the melted butter and then roll in the breading until completely coated. Set on a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops.
• Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange scallops in the prepared basket so that they are not touching each other; you may need to work in batches.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 2 minutes. Turn scallops over gently with a small spatula and cook until opaque, about 2 more minutes.

AIR FRYER BUTTERNUT SQUASH, FENNEL AND SHALLOT SALAD

Steps:

• Add 3 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the red wine vinegar to a small saucepan over medium-low heat and stir to combine. Add the 2 teaspoons tarragon and the rosemary and stir. Simmer until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat an air fryer to 385 degrees F. Add the butternut squash, shallots, fennel, garlic, olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the Dijon and a generous sprinkle each of salt and pepper to a large bowl and toss to combine. Put the vegetables in an even layer in the air fryer basket and cook until the squash and the shallots start to char around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. You can do this in batches if you have a smaller air fryer or want crispier edges.
• While the vegetables air fry, strain the maple vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons Dijon and stir or whisk to combine. Thin out with water and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large heatproof bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 tablespoon tarragon.
• Dress the spinach spring mix with the vinaigrette and divide among serving bowls. Top with the vegetables, then garnish with fennel fronds and crushed peanuts.
